Note:
^* At the beginning of July 2013, the two referees from Cameroon had to cease their refereeing activities, as the Cameroonian Football Association had been suspended by the world association FIFA . The reason for this was that Cameroonian politics interfered in the association's affairs through the use of law enforcement officers in the election of the association's president Iya Mohammed on June 19 .

Technical aids

The so-called " free kick spray " is being used for the first time at a FIFA competition . With this, in South America for several years, z. B. means used at the Copa América 2011 , the referee can mark the location of the free kick and the position of the wall.
